Mo Tingzhu was naked at the moment, wearing only a pair of underwear.
The exercises these days have been quite effective. The lines on his waist and abdomen are tight and you can vaguely see the muscles.
His arms had also become much thicker, because after being caught in the rain and then warmed by the fire, the alternating cold and heat caused distinct blue veins to appear on his fair skin.
Tang Wan didn't know why her face felt hot.
She lowered her eyes, her cheeks flushed with shame: "Aren't you cold? If I put this on, what will you do?"
"I'm a man, I'm warming myself by the fire, I won't be cold. When the rain stops, we'll find a way down the mountain."
"The letter I left behind said that if we still haven't returned after two days, I would send someone to look for us at Hanshan Temple. After all, nothing will happen."
Tang Wan breathed a sigh of relief. At least she had a backup plan, otherwise she would have cried to death here.
The snow fox's fur is waterproof and feels warm when covered with it. Her inner clothes have basically dried out, so she called Mo Tingzhu over.
Mo Tingzhu walked over and was hugged in his arms.
This cloak is big enough to barely cover two people.
Mo Tingzhu is used to lying. He says he is not cold even though he is so cold himself.
Mo Tingzhu felt the warmth coming from his body and couldn't help but sigh.
It's too warm to sleep.
Logan's skin was warm and soft.
Mo Tingzhu suddenly felt a little embarrassed and quietly moved away.
Tang Wan firmly hooked her arm around his neck and let him lean against the crook of her neck.
"Why, you want to catch another cold?"
Mo Tingzhu muttered softly, "...It's too close."
"You talk as if we don't usually sleep together."
The two smiled at each other and fell asleep leaning against each other.
.............
When I woke up the next day, I felt very hungry.
Tang Wan brought a lot of dry food, but no water. Rainwater is not drinkable, and drinking raw water will make you sick.
But there was nothing to hold the water in and heat it.
I can only eat dry food.
Mo Tingzhu looked at the heavy rain outside the cave, feeling filled with sorrow.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and I don’t know when it will stop.
We really can't stay idle, but because it's too cold, we can only huddle together.
He really regretted it at this moment. Why did he choose to go out alone? If he had brought a maid or servant with him, he would not be in such a miserable state now.
It would be fine for him, but Tang Wan was even weaker than him. Her health was not good to begin with, and the exercise she had done during those days could only improve her physique a little, but if compared with those ordinary strong women, she was no match at all.
He didn't feel very cold at the moment, but her body temperature was extremely low, and her hands and feet were icy.
I can only wrap her up with several pieces of clothes, otherwise she will get sick sooner or later.
I was so thirsty that I hadn't had a drop of water for a whole day and night.
Their lips were dry and chapped, and their faces had turned much paler.
Mo Tingzhu searched everywhere and finally found a small stone bowl in a corner.
It's really small, only the size of a palm.
If he drank it, it would probably be gone in just three or two sips.
However, water, even a drop, seems extremely precious at this moment.
He collected rainwater to rinse the bowl clean, then collected more and put it on the fire, waiting for the water to heat up.
After about a quarter of an hour, the water was boiling.
He brought the water down and gently shook Tang Wan, who had fallen asleep.
When Tang Wan saw the water, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Just as he was about to take it and drink it, he saw Mo Tingzhu licking his lips with a look of desire in his eyes.
"Did you drink?" she asked.
Mo Tingzhu swallowed his saliva, which passed through his dry throat, causing a sharp pain.
He nodded with a smile: "Of course I drank it, I drank a lot, I gave it to you after tasting it, don't worry about drinking it."
Tang Wan then took it and gulped down half of the hard-earned sweet dew.
She quickly wiped her lips and stuck out her tongue in disgust: "It's so hot, I've had enough, you drink it."
Mo Tingzhu looked at her for a long time, and only after making sure that she had really drunk enough did he drink the water in one gulp.
Tang Wan breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from Mo Tingzhu's expression, he didn't look like he had drunk any water.
If she hadn't pretended to say that she had had enough to drink, I'm afraid this silly boy really wouldn't drink a drop of water today.
“I don’t know when this rain will stop.”
"No matter what, it should stop today. Look, isn't the rain getting lighter?" Mo Tingzhu hugged her and looked straight outside the cave.
As soon as the words came out, the rain suddenly became heavier.
Tang Wan: “.............”
Mo Tingzhu: “.............”
Sometimes, you have to leave room for maneuver when you speak. Look, isn’t this a slap in the face?
At the same time, the palace was in chaos. Maids, servants, and grooms turned the palace upside down, but still couldn't find the person.
Mother Mo sat on the high hall, her face dark as ink: "Where is the prince?"
"I don't know, I don't know." The servant who was questioned was about to cry. He didn't expect that the prince would send him away and run away like this.
Perhaps it was because his image of hard work these days was so deeply rooted in people's minds that no one doubted him.
No one thought that he was so rebellious that he dared to leave with the princess without taking anything but two bags.
They didn't even drive the carriage away, so they probably walked there. It had been raining heavily for two days. It would be fine if they walked there, but if they didn't, and got lost in the mountains and forests, that would be terrible.
The servant's legs were trembling, and his voice was shaking when he answered.
Mother Mo pinched her eyebrows in pain. This damn boy has never given her peace of mind.
I finally married a good daughter-in-law who is easy to take care of and can control this troublemaker. It seems that everything is moving in a good direction.
The devil also gave up and started to read and write, learn riding and shooting, and learn the six arts of a gentleman.
But unexpectedly, this seemingly well-behaved daughter-in-law was the same kind of person as her son and dared to run away like this.
The daughter-in-law didn't know, but she knew what kind of person her son was.
I didn’t recognize the road I had walked several times, so I had to ask someone to lead me there.
She had already sent people to Hanshan Temple. The road was slippery and muddy due to the rain, and it would take a full six hours to drive there by carriage.
The round trip would take a whole day.
It would be good if they could find the person. At least they would be able to eat and dress warmly in Hanshan Temple and would not starve or freeze. If they could not find the person, it would mean that both of them were lost in the forest.
By then, no one could guarantee the safety of these two people.
She touched her chest and felt it tighten.
I always feel like something bad is going to happen.
